The reduced 'darcs' derivation is supposed to be run-time independent of the
Haskell compiler. Unfortunately, this isn't quite true yet because the HTTP
package bakes its own store path into the library. This causes Darcs -- which
links the HTTP library statically -- to depend on 'HTTP', which in turn depends
on lot of other Haskell stuff. Patching HTTP to get rid of that reference looks
feasible, though.
This is like types.string, but values are merged by putting a newline
in between them. This is mostly useful for configuration file
options, where we don't want values accidentally ending up on the same
line.
Note that almost all options with string type in NixOS should either
be unmergable (i.e. should be marked with ‘types.uniq’) or should
actually be of type ‘lines’. So it might make sense to remove the
merge function for the ‘string’ type eventually.
It doesn't run very well with our symlinks in PATH, but I don't know what
patch can make it work still. This is better than nothing; calling it
with its full path makes it work.
This version contains a security fix for CVE-2013-0249, for details please have
a look at:

Thanks to @roconnor for pointing this out.
I'm pushing this to stdenv-updates because I'm not quite sure if it will break
other things because 7.29.0 is now non-blocking by default. Plus the security
vulnerability only affects IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocol support.

Cherry-picked into master, this won't change stdenv.
